Chapter 19 Ruen's Implicit

Late night, 7 Pinster Street.

Leonard Mitchell sat on the chair, raised his feet, stretched them to the desk, and rested them on the edge.

Then, he leaned back, making the joints of the wood creak, and his breath gradually became longer.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids drooped, covering his pupils.

At this time, Leonard's spirit had already arrived in a gray world, but the place he was in was still his bedroom.

He flew to the window and saw a thick gray fog covering the nearby blocks and extending outward, as if to encompass the entire Backlund.

The gas street lamps beside the street and the warm firelights in different houses all looked extremely dim at this time, and could only illuminate a small area around them, and it was a little hazy.

At the same time, clusters of illusory elliptical light spheres are either hiding or appearing, covering the houses in a staggered manner, which seems to be the source of their existence.

This is the city in the eyes of "Nightmare".

According to the previous investigation, Leonard jumped out of the window in the form of "Nightmare" and flew to No. 17 Minsk Street, Jorwood District.

He didn't break in directly, and landed at the door of the other party in the thick fog, and rang the doorbell politely.

In the voice of "cuckoo" and "cuckoo", Starling Summer, who was wearing a nightgown, opened the door.

While covering her chest with the silver-studded palace feather fan, she asked confusedly and doubtfully:

"Who are you looking for?"

She was Klein's landlord when she played Sherlock Moriarty, a blond, blue-eyed lady in her thirties.

Leonard had changed into the black and white checkered Loen police uniform at this time, casually showed his ID and said:

"Do you know Sherlock Moriarty?"

Because in the dream, Starling reacted very slowly, and it took several seconds before she said:

"What happened to him?"

While she was asking back, under the influence of Leonard, the Sherlock Moriarty in her heart naturally appeared next to her:

Wearing a half-height silk top hat, double-breasted long dress, gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a beard growing around the mouth...

This is the same as the Sherlock Moriarty that Leonard got before, so there is no doubt, and he said directly:

"He's been involved in a case and is being investigated.

"I hope you can cooperate with our work."

"Okay, okay." Starling wanted to lift her chin, but for some reason she felt a little scared.

Leonard thought for a second and said:

"When did he rent the house?"

"Early September last year." Starling recalled.

Leonard continued to ask:

"What do you know about him? Or, in your mind, what kind of person is he?"

Mentioning this, Starling said as if she had thought about the answer a long time ago:

"He is from Jianhai County. He has an accent there. He is a very capable detective. He once helped Mary solve her husband's affair. However, his income is not high, and he can't even hire a handyman. Let my maid help out part-time... My children told me that he is a good storyteller, especially good at detective stories, which may be the reason why he chose that profession..."

Without giving Leonard a chance to interrupt, she continued eloquently:

"He is not as rude as ordinary detectives. He has gone to grammar school, studied history, and the most enviable thing is that, thanks to Mary, he joined the Cragg Club, which is full of people of great status. I used to go to several times...

"Later, he seemed to be famous in the detective circle, and private detectives often came to him..."

Leonard was a little impatient, and couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

From Mrs. Starling, he didn't get any useful information. Except for Sherlock Moriarty's poor financial situation and being good at telling detective stories, the rest were within the scope of the intelligence he had previously investigated. He even knew that Sherlock Moriarty had a good relationship with Isengard Stanton.

Next, let's start with those who have a good relationship with Sherlock Moriarty in the Cragg Club... Listen patiently to Mrs. Starling's nagging,

Leonard immediately thanked the other party and left her dream.

…………

160 Boklund Street, inside the mansion of Dawn Dantès.

In the hall where hundreds of guests could dance, Klein was dancing with a lady in her thirties.

This is the etiquette teacher Walter found, called Wahana Haisen.

She has a familiar female name, but she is not ordinary in person, her facial features are clearly above average, but she is very temperamental, and her every move is full of charm.

According to Walter, she was born in a baronial family and received a good education since she was a child. Later, she entered the court and served as a female officer until she got married.

Because the family has been in decline and her husband's financial situation is average, she, who believes in the goddess of the night, chooses to become a tutor in etiquette, and often goes to different noble or wealthy families to teach their children.

Although the butler didn't say it clearly, Klein knew that he couldn't behave too badly in front of this lady, otherwise his reputation would be basically hopeless.

—One of the important ways for nobles, rich people, and other upper-class people to find out about a person is through mutual acquaintances. And sometimes, the interaction between servants also has this aspect.

Footsteps moved lightly, body swayed, and Wahana, who had black hair lightly pulled back, nodded approvingly:

"Monsieur Dantès, it is really hard to imagine that you have not learned this dance before.

"In less than two quarters of an hour, you are as proficient as a nobleman who has received similar education since childhood."

"It's you who taught me well." Klein smiled modestly, with a gentle expression, not showing off.

With the balance and coordination ability of "clown", dancing is a very simple thing for him.

Wahana lowered her head, chuckled lightly and said:

"You are a gentleman who pleases ladies very well."

Her light brown eyes immediately lifted up, and swept across Dawn Dantès' silver temples and deep blue eyes.

"This is the best compliment I've heard today." Klein responded with a smile, without pausing, and led Wahana around lightly. Not far away, the invited band made a beautiful melody Continue to reverberate in the hall.

He wanted to get acquainted with Wahana, not just to improve his reputation, but also because she had served as a court lady.

Wahana corrected Dwayne Dantès' slight mistake and said:

"Inviting a lady to dance is not just dancing, but also a necessary conversation. You can't be like two dolls, unless you are both immersed in the music and dance rhythm and don't want to talk. Of course, this is also a kind of communication, a spiritual one. communicate.

"When talking, you must be reserved, this is Ruen, not Intis.

"In short, don't be direct, don't be rude, make yourself presentable.

"Let me give you an example. If you want to praise a woman's perfume, you can't directly say how good it smells, and you can't ask what kind of perfume it is and give it a compliment. You have to think of a more subtle meaning. A side note, um, you It can be said: I seem to have come to the outskirts of spring.

"Of course, it has to match the character of the fragrance."

Without a sense of literature, shouldn't we say "the moonlight is so beautiful tonight"? Klein slandered with a Japanese-style slur, then laughed at himself and said:

"Thank you for not saying my compliments weren't personable enough."

Wahana's smile suddenly deepened:

"Mr. Dantès, do you know what kind of gentleman is popular with women in social situations?"

"I don't know." Klein shook his head frankly.

Wahana said with an undiminished smile:

"The second most popular is a man who makes women think he's smart."

"What about number one?" Klein asked cooperatively.

Wahana glanced at him and said:

"The No. 1 favorite is a man who makes women think he's smart."

Having said that, she smiled and didn't speak again. Klein suddenly understood her hidden compliment.

This is Ruen's subtlety... It's not like Intis's side, who rushed to the lower body... Well, these are all reports in newspapers and magazines. What does the real Intis social scene look like? Based on this, it is determined that the two countries always slander each other anyway... The era of the Great Emperor fits that description very well... Klein nodded in a daze.

The two-hour etiquette course came to an end in such a harmonious atmosphere. Klein took the butler Walter and his personal servant Richardson to send Teacher Wahana Haisen to the door and gave her a small gift .

It was "Moonshine" from the Drum Company, mixed with gray amber, and it was quite expensive.

As for the exact amount, Klein is not clear, because the housekeeper Walter is responsible for the purchase, and the expenses go from the housekeeper. Tanya will take the bill when the 1,000 pounds are almost spent and new funds are needed. And the form to find him for review.

The reason why Klein knew which company it was and what perfume it was was because Mr. Steward had told him in advance, so that when Ms. Wahana asked, he would not know anything and appear insincere.

From these details, he deeply understood the role of a good housekeeper.

Seeing the satisfied Ms. Wahana Haisen leave, Klein resisted the urge to rub his forehead, and sighed sincerely in his heart:

"This is more tiring than fighting Extraordinary people. You must always pay attention to your actions and think carefully about your words...I must take a break."

At this moment, Walter, wearing white gloves, stepped forward and said:

"Since you are making rapid progress in etiquette, sir, you can advance the rest of your lessons."

"What class?" Klein felt a headache.

"History, international politics, philosophy, music, and common sense about sports such as golf, horse racing, and hunting..." Walter replied meticulously.

"Philosophy?" Klein asked back in a little astonishment.

Walter nodded and said:

"This is one of the easiest topics to talk about in high society. You don't need to have a very deep study, but at least you need to know what others are talking about. Know that the source of pragmatism philosophy is Conciso, Mared and Patterson , not Emperor Roselle, who knew that it was Luermi who proposed 'man is born free'.

"Many wealthy people are always prone to make mistakes in this area when they first enter the upper class. They are used to pushing the philosophies they don't know to Emperor Roselle."

Klein got more and more headaches when he was told, he forced a smile and said:

"I don't have much to do these days, except for naps and going to church, and you can schedule classes whenever you want."

…………

In a dark room, the envelope floated up, opened by itself, and shook out the paper.

Sharon's figure wearing a small soft hat was outlined beside her, holding the letter paper and carefully reading it.

She immediately wrote a reply letter, arranged the ceremony, and began to summon Sherlock Moriarty's messenger.

During this process, she did not forget to put a gold coin.

Soon, after Sharon finished chanting the incantation, she saw the candle flame expand and turn dark green.

Reinette Tinekerr with four blond-haired, red-eyed heads came out of the candlelight and came in front of Sharon.

Sharon's eyes froze, and a strong emotional change suddenly appeared on her puppet-like face.

She blurted out:

"teacher!

"Didn't you already..."
